For me, its Xena.

Few years back, height of covid epidemic, was living in homeless shelters. Overcrowded slums, everyone miserable, yelling, screaming, fights, abuse, rage. At one point, could feel the anger building in me. Powerless, a victim, desire for retribution. What good was trying to be better person, when all it meant was people walking over me.

Started rewatching xena, hadn’t in years. Big message of the show: when surrounded by hate, violence, it’s tempting to give in, to not be a victim. But you have a choice, to not continue the cycle, to make a better world. I so needed to hear that message at that time in my life.

What tv show helped you?

    Mr. Robot; showing the worse of humanity, how far people will go corrupting once held morals the whole way. Not being able to understand oneself or the people around them, but still wanting and hoping to see people enjoy life.

    I believe the series ended on a great note, though some may disagree.

    • That show felt like a weird acid trip. The constant whiplash when you realise he’s been delusional about something completely threw me (in a good way!).

      I’ll have to watch it again cos it was a fantastic show and really well made.

      Awesome show. Yeah, I’m a bit iffy about how it ended, but it could’ve been so much worse.

      One of, if not my favorite shows ever. I don’t understand why so many people I know are entirely dismissive of it. The hacking is accurate, the characters are compelling, and the plotline is amazing. It inspired me to get into Cybersecurity.
